A further 9 per cent of complaints to the commission related to financial advice.

The commission said it has received about 385 submissions to date and that the number of submissions has been growing each week since the commission allowed the public to submit evidence online.

The paper points to the role of authorised-deposit taking (ADI) institutions, which hold 55 per cent of the total assets of Australian financial institutions.
